Teen Charged With Running Down Nurse in N.Y.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – A 16-year-old boy accused of running down a nurse outside a Syracuse hospital has been charged with assault and reckless driving.

Police say Andre Escobar surrendered Friday, two days after a surveillance video of the hit-and-run was released. He's also charged with leaving the scene of a personal injury accident and aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle. Investigators got an anonymous tip that led them to the car Thursday.

Sixty-one-year-old Rebecca Forsythe suffered two fractured vertebrae, a broken leg and a cut to her head when she was hit Dec. 2 outside an entrance to Crouse Hospital. She's in good condition.

Forsythe works for an Arlington, Texas, firm that finds temporary employment for nurses.
